Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and to a wind park controller for controlling at least one wind turbine in a wind park comprising plural wind turbines and relates further to a wind park comprising the wind park controller.
  • a wind park comprises a plurality of wind turbines. Some wind turbines are located downstream of other wind turbines, de pending on a current wind direction.
  • the upstream wind tur bines may reduce the wind speed and wind energy experienced by the downstream wind turbines. At the downstream wind tur bines also a turbulence of the wind may increase.
  • a wind shadow region downstream or behind an upstream wind turbine may also be referred to as a wake region, or simply wake, of that upstream wind turbine.
  • optimised blade pitch, rotor speed, pow er production set-points, rotor tilt and/or yaw offsets or other control settings on the wind turbines can be used.
  • the upstream wind turbine may adapt its control settings to reduce wake-induced loads or to optimise total production of the wind farm.
  • optimised settings are most commonly based on wind farm models that assume knowledge of the wind conditions coming into the wind farm and the layout of the wind farm.
  • the optimisation settings are based on the situations when all wind turbines are in operation.
  • upstream turbines will be identified that may have an impact on other downstream wind turbines and the respective upstream turbines are controlled.
  • One control action may be setting the yaw angle of the up stream wind turbine.
  • yaw misalign ment angle is used to refer to a current yaw state of the wind turbine, wherein such an angle is defined as an angle between a rotating axis of a rotation shaft of the wind tur bine and a current wind direction upstream of that wind tur bine.
  • yaw offset or "yaw offset setpoint” is used to refer to a control setting which should be met by the yaw misalignment angle when a control action is performed.
  • positive yaw angles will be used in the document for angles defining a clockwise diversion of the turbine rotor axis from the main wind direction as seen from above the turbine.
  • Negative yaw angles will be used in the document for angles defining a counterclockwise diversion of the turbine rotor axis from the main wind direction as seen from above the turbine. Absolute values of these positive and negative yaw angles increase when the rotor orientation de parts further from an alignment of the turbine rotor axis and the main wind direction, wherein a perfect alignment of the turbine rotor axis and the main wind direction is represented by yaw angle of 0 degree.
  • the method which will later be discussed in this document however also allows for alterna tive definitions where counterclockwise rotation is regarded positive yaw angle and clockwise rotation is regarded nega tive yaw angle.
  • an upstream turbine may have a specific yaw angle setting and a change of wind condition may result in a control action such that the yaw position is drastically changed, e.g. a repositioning from a higher value positive yaw angle to a higher value negative yaw angle.
  • a repositioning from a higher value positive yaw angle to a higher value negative yaw angle e.g. a repositioning from a higher value positive yaw angle to a higher value negative yaw angle.
  • the present invention seeks to address these problems and mitigate related drawbacks.
  • a method for controlling a first wind turbine of a plurality of wind turbines of a wind park wherein a second wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines can be affected by a wake region caused by the first wind turbine which is positioned upstream of the second wind turbine, wherein a rotor yaw offset angle set point for the first wind turbine is defined to follow a hysteresis characteristic.
  • a switch from a range of positive yaw offset angles to negative yaw offset angles may be prevented if shortly before a switch from a range of negative yaw offset angles to positive yaw offset angles has just occurred, and the other way around.
  • the hysteresis characteristic is applied such that thereby immediate consecutive switching be tween a range of positive yaw offset angles and negative yaw offset angles is avoided, i.e. prohibited or prevented.
  • Zero offset angle would mean that the rotor is perfectly aligned into the main wind direction.
  • "Positive” offset an gles are understood as a yawing rotation of the rotor, start ing from zero offset angle, in clockwise direction.
  • “Nega tive” offset angles are understood as a yawing rotation of the rotor, starting from zero offset angle, in counterclock wise direction.
  • a reyawing procedure is un- derstood, in which a rotor executed a major repositioning in angles - for example a more than 10 degree change - and in which a rotor will be realigned either (a) starting in the region of positive angles and ending in the region of nega tive angles, or (b) starting in the region of negative angles and ending in the region of positive angles.
  • the invention is directed to a method for controlling a first wind turbine of a plurality of wind tur bines of a wind park, wherein a second wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines can be affected by a wake region caused by the first wind turbine which is positioned upstream of the second wind turbine, the method comprising the steps of :
  • the actual rotor yaw mis-alignment angle is defined as an angle between a rotating axis of a rotor of the first wind tur bine and a current wind direction at the first wind turbine, b) an identifier representing whether the actual ro tor yaw misalignment angle is either in a range of positive yaw misalignment angles or alternatively of negative yaw misalignment angles;
  • the level of wake inducement is at least represented by a distance between locations of the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine and/or by the current wind direction at the first wind turbine;
  • the steps may preferably be executed in the order as defined above .
  • the current yaw state either the exact angle value of the current yaw position of the first wind turbine, i.e. the actual rotor yaw misalignment angle.
  • the determined current yaw state may represent the exact yaw position which is caused by a wind direction experienced dur ing a previous yaw control cycle, assuming the control is performed in cycles.
  • the current yaw state is merely an identifier - a binary identifier with two possible values - which defines whether the current yaw position is either in the range of positive yaw misalignment angles or alternatively in the range of neg ative yaw misalignment angles.
  • Such an identifier may be suf ficient to define the context of the control.
  • the current wind direction may be determined by a single measurement, e.g. using LIDAR (light detection and ranging).
  • LIDAR light detection and ranging
  • multiple measurement may be performed from which the wind di rection may be inferred.
  • the current wind direction at a wind turbine may be a value that represents the wind direction at a height from ground of the rotor, as if that wind turbine would not be present.
  • the current wind direction represents the wind direction shortly upstream of the wind turbine, as it will hit the rotor.
  • the wind direction may be processed in sensors and/or the control unit as a vector or as a matrix to define an orienta tion of the wind.
  • the wind direction may be defined as a direction from which wind is blowing but the method allows also to use a definition that the wind direction is a direction towards the wind is flow ing, which is typically also referred to as wind vector.
  • the level of wake inducement may be represented by power loss on the downstream second wind turbine.
  • the level of wake inducement is an indicator how much the second wind turbine is impacted by the wake of the first tur bine.
  • Several values may be able to be used as level of wake inducement.
  • One option for the level of wake inducement is to determine a distance between locations of the first wind tur bine and the second wind turbine. By that it can be deter mined whether and how much the upstream first wind turbine affects the downstream second wind turbine, or whether the wake impact on the second wind turbine can be disregarded. In a variation of this option not only the distance between up stream and downstream wind turbines is evaluated but also a cross-stream distance may be considered to determine the lev el of wake inducement.
  • the wake overlap may be considered in the level of wake inducement.
  • the downstream and especially cross-stream distances change as the wind direction changes.
  • Another option for the level of wake inducement may be to calculate a percentage of the rotor area which is affected by the wake compared to an overall ro tor area. This would clearly indicate how strong the second wind turbine is affected by the wake.
  • the level of wake inducement is represented by more than one physical value, e.g. by a pair of wind direc tion and the distance between locations of the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine.
  • a direct determination or measure ment of the level of wake inducement during operation of the present control method may not be performed.
  • the level of wake inducement may be considered in a configuration step us ing models that are used to define beforehand controller look-up tables that will later be used while the method is executed .
  • the level of wake inducement may merely be represented by the distance be tween locations of the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine, as closely positioned wind turbines will affect an other with a higher wake impact than more distant ones.
  • the rotor yaw offset angle set point for the first wind tur bine represents the target value for the yaw position, which should be reached when a yaw control cycle is finished.
  • the term of the "at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold” may be simplified in the following also as “the hysteresis threshold”. If more than one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold shall be discussed, then the term “the hysteresis thresholds", in plural, is used.
  • the hysteresis threshold - preferably a pair of two thresh olds are defined for a given wind direction - defines a switching level of the hysteresis, i.e. of the hysteresis curve .
  • the hysteresis threshold may be a pre-defined value or may be calculated based on the current wind direction.
  • the rotor yaw offset angle set point may be based on wind speed, wind turbulence and/or other conditions affecting the wake.
  • Some of the input parameters for the rotor yaw offset angle set point may also depend on the actual wind direction. This applies particularly for the selection of a relevant one of the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold.
  • the present invention considers an effect called wake deflec tion.
  • the wake is a zone created by a wind turbine in which downstream wind speed is reduced caused by the extraction of kinetic energy from the wind. As the flow proceeds down stream, there is a spreading or dispersion of the wake and the wake eventually recovers towards free stream conditions.
  • the wake of several upstream wind turbines may even be con sidered for operation of a single downstream turbine, which may again be considered to be upstream of further turbines in the wind park. According to the invention particularly wake effects from neighbouring wind turbines are considered.
  • wake deflection refers to an effect in which a wake may not appear symmetrically behind an upstream wind turbine in case of a yaw misalignment of that wind turbine but is dis- placed or even curved in one direction.
  • the yaw misalignment angle may have an impact on a level of displacement or curva ture. That means that a downstream wind turbine that that is positioned directly behind an upstream wind turbine may only be affected partly by the wake induced by the upstream wind turbine if a yaw misalignment is used for the upstream tur bine to create a wake deflection.
  • the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold - defining a point at which a yaw angle is not only homogeneously increased but substantially re versed between positive and negative yaw angles - and to de fine the rotor yaw offset angle set point for the first wind turbine to follow the hysteresis is particularly advantageous as this prevents rapidly repeating transitions between posi tive and negative reference yaw angles which otherwise could occur.
  • the yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold may de fine a trigger at which a transition between positive and negative yaw angles will be triggered for the rotor yaw off set angle set point but at the same time, as long as the yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold is not met or exceeded, the rotor yaw offset angle set point may be controlled to on ly execute minor angle adjustments, e.g. less than 5° or even less than 2° between the rotor yaw offset angle set point and the actual rotor yaw misalignment angle.
  • the curve will be continuous until the yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold is reached by the current wind direction angle, at which a discontinuous inversion of the actual rotor yaw misalignment angle will take place, such that the curve is interrupted and jumps - as an example - from previous pos itive rotor yaw misalignment angles to negative ones.
  • a sec ond yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold may also be de- fined such that there will be a jump from previous negative rotor yaw misalignment angles to positive ones. Obviously in case of a pair yaw angle hysteresis switching thresholds, these should have different values to create the hysteresis effect .
  • the yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold is defined by a threshold value for the wind direc tion angle, particularly the wind direction at the first wind turbine.
  • the yaw angle hysteresis switching thresh old could also be based on another parameter, preferably as long as the other parameter reflects the wind direction and/or the distance to an upstream wind turbine that creates a wake.
  • the hysteresis threshold may be a pre-configured value or may be determined in a method step based on input parame ters, particularly wind directions and/or distance between wind turbines.
  • the hysteresis threshold may also be deter mined based on the level of wake inducement. By this, the hysteresis threshold defines a value at which the level of wake inducement is increased above acceptable limits.
  • the plurality of at least one yaw angle hys teresis switching threshold may be pre-configured, determined by setting these values to a preconfigured acceptable level of wake inducement for each wind direction range to consider.
  • the acceptable level of wake inducement defines a range in which an inversion of yawing position would not be required as the level of wake inducement would still be in a suitable range .
  • the hysteresis thresholds can be calculated for each turbine in the wind farm for each wind direction range to consider and can be integrated into yaw offset lookup tables.
  • a specific wind turbine may have sev eral neighbouring wind turbines having an influence on the specific wind turbine.
  • yaw angle hysteresis switching thresholds preferably for each downstream wind turbine that can possibly be affected by a wake effect of a given upstream wind turbine, a pair of yaw angle hysteresis switching thresholds should be defined for that given up stream wind turbine.
  • the explained method defined as a basis an upstream first wind turbine and a downstream second wind turbine. With a change of wind direction different pairs of wind turbines may affect another by wake, so different pairs of wind turbines may be selected for the method.
  • the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold may be determined - preferably selected from pre-configured set of values - based on the current wind condition, particularly a current wind direc tion, or on the level of wake inducement at the second wind turbine caused at least by the first wind turbine Furthermore the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold may be determined based on an angular distance value, wherein preferably the angular distance value corresponds to a lag for the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold lagging behind a local optimum for possible yaw angle values for the first wind turbine.
  • This optimal switching value is a local optimum for the rotor yaw offset angle set point. According to an embodiment of the in- vention this local optimum is not used to trigger an inver sion of the orientation of the yaw angle but there will be a lag or delay such that only further angular change will trig ger this inversion.
  • this "lag” is an angular delta value - an angular lag - but may result in consequence in a time lag until the inversion of the orientation of the yaw angle will be triggered.
  • a hysteresis characteristic can be followed for the rotor yaw offset angle set point.
  • the wind condition may be an input parameter to one or several of the previously dis cussed parameters.
  • the determining of the level of wake inducement at the second wind turbine may be based on a current wind condition.
  • the defining of a rotor yaw offset angle set point for the first wind turbine may also be based on the current wind condition.
  • the hysteresis threshold may be based on the current wind condition.
  • One main wind condition is the current wind direction which is present at a given point in time. So as an example, the level of wake inducement may be preferably a function of the present wind direction.
  • the current wind condition may be represented by at least one of the following parameters: As already said, it may be represented by a current wind direction, preferably determined at or for the location of the first wind turbine. Second, it may be represented by a current wind speed, pref erably determined at or for the location of the first wind turbine, at or for the location of the second wind turbine or any other representative position. Third, it may be repre sented by a current wind turbulence, preferably determined at or for the location of the second wind turbine.
  • a current wake deflection as a misa lignment of the wake compared to a wake induced by the first wind turbine with a yaw misalignment angle of zero, prefera bly determined at or for the location of the second wind tur bine or in a region between the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine.
  • a direct measurement "at” a specific loca tion may not be possible, but a wind condition can at least be derived "for" a specific location based on measurements at one or several locations or derived from other measurements which correspond to the to be determined wind condition.
  • the wind condition may also be a mean value, e.g. an average wind speed for a given - fairly short - time span that was occurring prior to the present moment in time or a mean value for the wind direction may be calculated over such a time span .
  • a mean value e.g. an average wind speed for a given - fairly short - time span that was occurring prior to the present moment in time or a mean value for the wind direction may be calculated over such a time span .
  • the step of defining a rotor yaw offset angle set point may be performed such that the yaw angle hys teresis switching threshold defines a switching limit of the hysteresis for the rotor yaw offset angle set point.
  • the switching limit may be a specific wind direction angle value and the control method may be performed such that the rotor yaw offset angle set point will be changed between positive and negative angles once this switching limit is reached or exceeded by the present wind direction angle value.
  • the step of defining a rotor yaw offset angle set point may be performed such that for rotor yaw off set angle set points or for wind directions in a range be tween two of the yaw angle hysteresis switching thresholds an increased level of wake inducement will not trigger switching between a positive and a negative rotor yaw offset angle set point.
  • This allows to select two hysteresis thresholds in a way that a switch between positive and negative yaw angles will only take place if the wind direction has changed sub stantially, while a minor reverse change of a wind direction will not directly trigger another switch between positive and negative yaw angles. This should reduce the number of major repositionings and only if the wind direction changes consid erably, another switch between positive and negative yaw an gles will be initiated.
  • the step of defining the rotor yaw offset angle set point may comprise substeps of switching an actual rotor yaw misalign ment angle with a positive angle to a negative angle if a first one of the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold is reached or exceeded, and switching an actual ro tor yaw misalignment angle with negative angle to a positive angle if a second one of the at least one yaw angle hystere sis switching threshold is reached or exceeded.
  • the at least one yaw angle hysteresis switching threshold may define at least a first hysteresis limit for the rotor yaw offset angle set point or the wind direction such that the rotor yaw offset angle set point (a) is limited to an incremental angle difference in case the ro tor yaw offset angle set point or the wind direction is below the first hysteresis limit and (b) is switched between posi tive and negative angle thereby reversing a rotor yaw misa lignment angle in case the rotor yaw offset angle set point or the wind direction reaches or would exceed the first hys teresis limit.
  • a limit can mean that a value (including considering its algebraic sign) may be below a limit or that only absolute values are compared. That means an angle of -10° may still be considered to be below a limit of -15° (even though, when considering the signs, -10° would be greater than -15°) . If the first hysteresis limit may define a switch from posi tive to negative angles, then a second hysteresis limit can be defined for the opposite behaviour to switch from negative to positive angles.
  • the hysteresis threshold may be de fined as a plurality of pairs of yaw angle hysteresis switch ing thresholds, wherein each pair is selected for a specific wind condition or a specific range of wind conditions.
  • the first wind turbine can create wake in all kinds of directions but may affect a number of X different other downstream turbines (as an example X may be 3) . So any one of the X downstream turbines can be considered to be downstream the "second wind turbine" as introduced before.
  • the hysteresis lim its could be for example defined with a width of 6°, so the hysteresis characteristic could be defined as pairs of angles of [12°, 18 ° ] , and [57°,63°], and [147°, 153°] defining three regions of hysteresis for three specific wind direction rang es. That means, for a continuously clockwise turning wind di rection, a switch between positive and negative angles may occur at 18°, 63° and 153°. For a continuously counterclock wise turning wind direction, a switch between negative and positive angles may occur at 147°, 57° and 12°.
  • a further method step may be defined as to activate a yaw actu- ator, preferably a step motor, of the first wind turbine for yawing the first wind turbine until the rotor yaw offset an gle set point is reached.
  • the method may further comprise the steps of (i) determining, based on the current wind condition, in particular a current wind direction, a pair of wind turbines of the wind park wherein a downstream wind turbine of the pair of wind tur bines is or can be affected by a wake region caused by an up stream wind turbine of the pair of wind turbines, (ii) se lecting the upstream wind turbine of the pair of wind tur bines as the first wind turbine, and (iii) selecting the downstream wind turbine of the pair of wind turbines as the second wind turbine.
  • the distance between locations of the first wind turbine and the second wind turbine may be calcu lated based on positioning coordinates of the first and sec ond wind turbine.
  • the coordinates of all wind tur bines of the wind park may be configured and stored in a da tabase or a lookup table.
  • the distances and alignment angles between neighbouring wind turbines may also be stored in a database or a lookup table.
  • the step of defining the rotor yaw offset angle set point for the first wind turbine may be per formed by at least accessing a pre-configured look-up-table, wherein accessing the look-up-table returns the rotor yaw offset angle set point.
  • the look-up table for a determined pair of wind turbines may be a function of at least the wind direction and returns the rotor yaw offset an gle set point.
  • Further input parameters may be wind speed, wind turbulence, or other parameters. Even though the term "function" is used, the look-up-table may not be a mathemati cal function but a matrix.
  • the invention is further directed to a wind park controller performing the above-mentioned method steps.
  • the invention is also directed to a wind park comprising a plurality of wind turbines and such a wind park controller .
  • Such wake steering can be defined as a controlling of de flecting the wake to reduce wake impact on downstream tur bines.
  • the mentioned wake steering may allow increased power production of the wind park by reducing wake losses, i.e. reduction of power experienced by down stream wind turbines due to wake of upstream turbine (s) .

But on the other hand the wind turbine 3 may have an impact to the further wind turbine 4. This is illustrated in FIG. 6. Thus, the wind turbine 3 can be considered to be now the up stream wind turbine and the wind turbine 4 can be considered to be the downstream wind turbine.

L'invention concerne un parc éolien, un dispositif de commande de parc éolien et un procédé de commande d'une première éolienne (2, 2') d'une pluralité d'éoliennes (2,3,4, …) d'un parc éolien (1), une seconde éolienne (3, 3') de la pluralité d'éoliennes (2,3,4, …) pouvant être affectée par une région de sillage (10) provoquée par la première éolienne (2, 2') qui est positionnée en amont de la seconde éolienne (3, 3'). Un état de lacet actuel est déterminé, en étant sélectionné parmi au moins l'un des éléments suivants : a) un angle de désalignement de lacet de rotor réel (20) de la première éolienne (2, 2'), l'angle de désalignement de lacet de rotor réel (20) étant défini comme un angle entre un axe de rotation (21) d'un rotor (22) de la première éolienne (2, 2') et une direction de vent actuelle (23) au niveau de l'axe de rotation (21) en amont de la première éolienne (2, 2'), b) un identifiant représentant si l'angle de désalignement de lacet de rotor réel (20) est soit dans une plage d'angles de désalignement de lacet positifs (24), ou soit dans une plage d'angles de désalignement de lacet négatifs (25). En outre, des conditions de vent qui sont indicatives de l'induction de sillage potentielle sur la seconde éolienne (3, 3'), telle que la direction du vent, sont déterminées. Un point de consigne d'angle de décalage de lacet de rotor (40) pour la première éolienne (2, 2') est défini, suite à une hystérésis (50) sur la base de l'état de lacet actuel, des conditions de vent et d'au moins un seuil de commutation d'hystérésis d'angle de lacet (51, 52). Il est ainsi évité une commutation consécutive immédiate entre une plage d'angles de décalage de lacet positifs et des angles de décalage de lacet négatifs.
